"darkening" a finish

[nognow]

I bought a Jackson Soloist in taxi yellow and I really dig this guitar and its color. but...I wish it were a little less...yellow hah
I mean I wish it were slightly darker and worn. would sanding the gloss finish to satin change anything? any other tricks to pacify this hair metal machine?
Thanks!

What is the finish type?

A couple of my guitars are nitrocellulose-lacquer and sunlight sure darkened and yellowed them, in a good worn way actually.

There are vintage tints you can spray then a couple coats of clear. Many of the tints build up depth with more coats. So you may be happy after one coat maybe more. You'll know as you see it. Guitar Reranch would be a good place to start.
